Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.
The work British Ambrosio, A Bay Stallion, The Property Of Thomas Haworth by George Stubbs was sold in the The Sporting Sale: Equestrian, Wildlife & Maritime Art auction at Sothebys in New York in December 2008. The »bidding war« ended at USD 206,500.00 (€ 148,358.36), 38% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Stubbs achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad in July 2011 with an auction result of GBP 22,441,250.00 (€ 25,754,691.64).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit British Ambrosio, A Bay Stallion, The Property Of Thomas Haworth von George Stubbs wurde im Dezember 2008 in der Auktion The Sporting Sale: Equestrian, Wildlife & Maritime Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 206.500,00 (€ 148.358,36) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Stubbs erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad im Juli 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 22.441.250,00 (€ 25.754.691,64).
